I had the same error when working on a new company website using WP 2.5. I searched for the “Missing Attachment” variable text and found it in the includes/post_template.php file, line 376. I changed it from return __(‘Missing Attachment’); to return __(”); uploaded the new file and there are no more errors messages writing to screen. So far this has not caused any issues with the site whatsoever. Hope this post is helpful to others with the same issue.

Wes, I’m unable to replicate the problem, but by memory the error messages refers to a specific line of code in a php file. I commented out that line.

Ultimately I had to change themes and add all plugins from scratch to fix a problem I had with paragraph breaks, which I think was related to the missing attachment issue.

JC, I’m kicking myself for not writing down the solution. It was something simple, as I told Melih by email, who fixed it as well.

I can’t remember if it was a theme or plugin issue, but I’ve changed themes since then and can’t replicate it.

I’ve got a feeling that my error message gave me a file reference and line number, which isn’t the case for you, so it could be a different problem.

Have you looked at your index.php or single.php file to see what’s after the date and before the post? Maybe there’s a call for something that isn’t there.

I used the plug-in “Image Headlines”.
It was a term ´image´ (I think in the post template) which collidate with the ´image´ my Image Headlines Plug-In uses.
I think that was it. But I´m not quite sure

Michael,
I’m having the same problem with the missing attachment. How did you get rid of that?

I fixed the missing text problem and it wasn’t specific to WordPress 2.5. A few plugins didn’t work, but otherwise the transition was okay.
I can’t say I really like the admin interface though. There are some changes that I can’t see the benefit of, eg the way the widgets run vertically in a list, rather than blocks, and the absence of page/post number IDs.

So is that all the problems? That is not too bad at all.

After upgrading I’ve experienced quite a few plugin errors with another site I’m running.

On this site I have mysterious “Missing Attachment” text at the top of each post. So far I don’t know if it’s a plugin or theme problem.
